The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) and the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) have collected evidence of high treason by Verkhovna Rada Member Oleksandr Dubinskyi, who carried out information and subversion in favor of the russian federation.
This was reported to Ukrainian News Agency in the SSU.
According to the investigation, he had the call sign "Buratino" and was part of a criminal organization that was formed by the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the russian federation (known as the GRU).
The main task of this organization is to undermine the socio-political situation in Ukraine and discredit our state in the international arena.
For this, members of the group received money from the military intelligence of the russian federation.
According to the SSU, the financing of the network reached more than USD 10 million.
As part of the pre-trial investigation, it is documented that Dubinskyi spread fakes about the highest military-political leadership of our state.
One example of disinformation work is the spread of fakes about the alleged interference of Ukrainian high-ranking officials in the U.S. presidential election in 2019.
To "disperse" pro-russian narratives, he participated in the corresponding press-conferences.
It was established that the criminal organization was created by the deputy chief of the russian GRU Vladimir Alekseev as an agent network operating in the capital of Ukraine.
The operational leadership of the enemy group from the territory of the russian federation was carried out by his deputy - Aleksei Savin.
According to the investigation, in addition to Dubinskyi, the enemy group included ex-MP Andrii Derkach, who on the eve of the full-scale invasion of the russian federation fled abroad.
Also included in this agent network was former prosecutor Kostiantyn Kulyk, who had the call sign "Ptichka" and is now hiding from justice abroad.
During the information sabotage against Ukraine, Kulyk publicly engaged in pseudo-legal "substantiation" of fakes in favor of the kremlin.
The subversion of the criminal organization in Kyiv was coordinated by Derkach’s ex-assistant, a former employee of the GRU of the USSR Ihor Kolesnikov, who, according to the materials of the SSU, has already been convicted and is serving a sentence for high treason.
On the basis of the collected evidence, the Prosecutor General informed Dubinskyi of the suspicion under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: Part 1 of Article 111 (high treason); Part 1 of Article 255 (creation, leadership of a criminal community or criminal organization, as well as participation in it).
Suspicion of the same articles was reported to the employees of the russian GRU Alekseev and Savin, who created a criminal organization and were engaged in incitement to high treason, as well as to agents of the russian federation: ex-MP Derkach and ex-prosecutor Kulyk.
The issue of choosing a preventive measure for Dubinskyi is being decided.
An investigation is ongoing to bring those responsible to justice.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the SSU and the SBI searched Dubinskyi in the case of high treason.
The Pecherskyi District Court of Kyiv chose a preventive measure for MP Dubinskyi: the MP will be under round-the-clock house arrest. Dubinskyi is accused of organizing a scheme by which it was possible to illegally cross the border.
